The Constructech Top Products honor technology solutions that have demonstrated outstanding innovation geared toward the commercial construction market. Top Products are divided into two categories, "Trusted" and "New." Newforma Project Cloud is in the "Trusted" category, having demonstrated its ability to reduce submittal and RFI coordination time by over 50 percent.

Products were evaluated by Constructech magazine's editorial team. Selection criteria included the product's overall usefulness and uniqueness to the construction industry. Customer growth rate during the past few years for that particular product was also considered.

Peggy Smedley, Constructech's editorial director, said, "Developing the right strategy for technology selection is a vital decision. What are the must-have functionalities? What are the company's goals for implementation? Once that plan is in place, a company can move on to execution. These 2013 commercial Top Products winners are solutions that can help bring IT strategy to fruition, taking a company to a whole new level."

Mike Carrozzo, Constructech's chief editor, said, "We have reached a point in construction technology where words like mobile, BIM, and collaboration are no longer buzzwords -- they are key, in-demand processes that contractors must implement in order to stay relevant. The 2013 commercial Top Products can meet these demands, and give construction companies the ability to enhance their businesses."

Bob Batcheler is a Newforma co-founder and executive vice president of strategy. "Newforma Project Cloud recaptures time you can use to create more value for clients," Batcheler said. "By integrating information from the design, construction and owner's teams, Newforma Project Cloud automates workflows related to document approval, PDF markup and general communication."
